My youngest grew up to spend years eating McDonalds and rediscovered health risk in his early 30s. He used to tease me that French Fries were a vegetable! Today, in his early 40s, he is the chief cook and nutritionist for his family and quite knowledgable about healthy food preparation. He’s very frustrated that they refuse to eat tofu! And he doesn’t have diabetes yet. My eldest is less disciplined, but he has the knowledge he needs to make wise choices. I highly recommend starting early, with a “dessert on Sundays Holidays and Birthdays’ philosophy. And enjoy the process! The relationships and habits established while young will return if/when you all survive their adolescence!
